Bedouin Feast
(served all at one time)
ingredients list
Ladies and Gentles allow me to take you on a journey around the
Mediterranean Sea. The menu that I have prepared is a culmination of many countries and the influences that the spice trade and the
crusades have had on them. Below I have taken the food influence of 7 countries and written dishes based on their rich food histories. Some countries are familiar and some are not, but the food in each is
irrevocably intertwined.
